I have made a few maps, anyone else? We should trade maps via action replay.

We could even play a 2 player co-op against the computer using saves, and just email back and forth with communication about the battle. That would be fun, any takers?

Okay well first of all, for everyon unfamiliar with the action replay, I will detail it here:

Basically it's a memory card reader that plugs into a PC using USB. With it you can transfer saved games to and from your PC (which is awesome for this game since you can only have 8 saves).

I got mine for 29.99 from Best Buy that included an 8MB memory card (which is a pretty good deal considering that's what normal memory cards cost).

SO I think this would have 2 applications for this game.
The first would be player created maps. It would be sweet to make a website where we could all upload maps we've made, and try them out.. give feedback and the like.

The 2nd would be play by e-mail games. Obviously these games would have to be co-op (I guess you could play against someone at your own risk... but the possibility of seeing the other player's stuff is too great).

Basically you would decide on a map, who'se being what army, etc. And one guy would elect to start the game. So he'd create it like a normal game, play out his turn, let the computer play their turns, then when it got to the next guy's turn he would save the game, upload it to his computer and email it to the other player.

this 2nd player would download it to their memory card, load it up, play out his turn, then lather, rinse, repeat.

Make sense?

Ah, that's right. I remember now. Cool

Not bad for $30 if we managed to play Dai Senryaku VII PBEM.

Have you tried sending a turn to yourself and taking the turn? (Just to see if it works?)
Same thing for the custom maps. (Have you tried yet?)

NOTE: The only problem is that you can't prevent the other player from seeing your army without seeing thiers or vice versa. Still it's much better than nothing. Even though I must say I prefer co-op against a harder AI. Though, PvP is still a viable option as long as everyone uses the honor system.

yeah I think player vs player is something I wouldn't want to do by email. But playing co-op vs. the computer would be fine.

And yeah I've transferred a save game. I had 4 friends over, and 2 of them watched me and another friend play for about an hour, then we let them start a game. They loved it so much they ran to the store, and bought their own version, and brought over an xbox. They transferred their saved game to the other xbox via memory card, and it worked fine. I also transferred my maps to their xbox, also fine. Having 2 TVs in the same room, and 4 dudes playing was awesome. We only play co-op so it was always 2 humans vs 2 computers.

I've made 3 maps now that I am willing to share with the world if anyone has picked up an Action Replay

I'm new to this game - I am only up to mission three Embarassed

but I can see the multi-player is the meat of this great game.. however, I don't really have anyone to play this with. I want to see if there are any on-line resource out there that have shared maps and/or the multiplayer idea noted above?

Thanks in advance.
Asgardian.

To the question as to where I have been, I was hiking the hills outside of Twisp Washington over the past weekend. Twisted Evil
